RMT: Second attempt

Drake33535

Ok, I've been cruzin the forums for a few months now and I've gotten several ideas for the my team in progress. This team has been rolling in my head for the past 3 months and now I'm finally putting it up for review. Here it is:


Hippowdon@leftovers
Sandstream
Impish
252 HP/252 Def/6 Sdef

Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Slack off
Ice fang

Lead tank and does a very good job. Massive defence and HP gives this guy great staying power. He sets up SS and SR for me al in one turn to put the hurt on my opponents. Earthquake for STAB and Ice fang hurts Dragons.




Tentacruel@Black Sludge
liquid ooze
Calm
204 HP/96 Satk/172 SDef/36 Spd

Surf
Ice beam
Rapid spin
Toxic spikes

Second only to Starmie in speed but has the bonus of removing Toxic spikes coming in. My rapid spinner and Toxic spiker. I choose this guy over Starmie because he resists Mixape and can OHKO back with a STAB Surf.



Gliscor@brightpowder
Sand veil
Impish
252 HP/252 Def/6 Spd

Earthquake
Ice fang
Aerial Ace
Roost

My awesome physical wall. This guys owns in SS thanks to Sand veil/brightpowder. Walls chomp with huge Def and resistances and KOs right back with Ice fang. Walls Hera and OHKOs with AA. Earthquake is coverage on TTar if it doesnt have Ice beam.



Lucario@Life orb
Stead fast
Adamant
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP

Close combat
Swords Dance
Extreme speed
Crunch

Standard SDluke and my physical sweeper. This things sweeps early, mid and late game and has the resistances to back up the sweep.


Regirock@leftovers
Clear body
Careful
252 HP/252 SDef/4 Atk

Earthquake
Curse
Thunder punch
Explosion

Special wall. This guy rocks in the sand and after a curse his Atk/Def go through the roof. Explosion is for the finish and after a curse it will OHKO any poke that doesnt resist it. Thunder punch is there for Inc coverage on Flyers that resist EQ and hit things like Gyara and Skarmory much harder.


Roserade@Choice Scarf
Natural Cure
Timid
252 Satk/252 Spd/6 HP

Leaf storm
Weather ball
Sleep powder
HP:Ice

Scarfrade for the koolness factor and absorbing TS. Weather becomes 100BP Rock type thanks to Sand storm and has excellent coverage next to Leaf storm. Sleep powder makes headaches for most and HP: Ice hits Chomp for good damage.


Any suggestions are appreciated. Please give as much info as possible. Thanks :toast:
 
I'm not sure about Gliscor. It seems pretty redundant along side Hippowdon. Hippo is a physical wall too, as you know, and Gliscor doesn't resist anything Hippowdon is weak to.

Snorlax is also a weak link. Only Body Slam means every Ghost, Steel, and Rock type laughs at you. Whirlwind is unnessecary.

Life Orb> Focus Sash on Lucario. Stealth Rock renders Sash useless.

There's no point in using Leech Seed on the Choice Scarfer. Besides, you outspeed ScarfChomp so use HP Ice to take advantage of this opportunity.

Overall, you have problems with Gyarados, and with all this spiking going around, you don't have an Anti-Spinner. An Impish Thunderpunch Dusknoir could take Gliscors place. Sludge Bomb has bad coverage and you could always do with a sleep move, so use Sleep Powder.
 
Gliscor is there to stop Heracross from sweeping my team and it is the only one immune to EQ. The EQ immunity is needed because 4 of my team are weak to it.

Im thinking I can replace Roserade with a ScarfGar. Like this:

Gengar@Choice Scarf
Modest
Levitate
196 Spd/252 Satk/60 HP

HP:Ice
Energy Ball
Shadow ball
Hypnosis
 
Regirock wasn't there before. Did you just add it on? If you really wanted a special wall, use Cradily. At least it isn't weak to Ground.

Also, you have the biggest Mamoswine weak ever.
 
Heracross doesn't threaten Hippowdon, IIRC Scarfcross' Close Combats and Megahorns only do around %30.

Gengar has EQ immunity and Lucario has a nice 4x resistance to Dark. I see both being effective but it's based on what STAB you'd rather have; Ghost or Grass.

If you really want to take advantage of Lucario's resistances, I'd suggest using the "Bulky Dancer" spread. 252 Neutral Speed Lucario isn't outspeeding much of any importance, besides 252 +Nature Heatran which is easily walled by Regirock, anyways.

Yes I did add Regirock today. I started with a Cradily but I just felt that it wasnt keeping up. Heres what I used:

Cradily@leftovers
Suction cups
Calm
252 HP/164 Def/92 Sdef

Grass knot
Recover
Barrier
Mirror coat

Grass knot hit Metagross harder than Earthquake and also has the benefit of taking out Gyarados. Barrier up to force opponent to use Special attacks then get a surprise KO with mirror coat. Worked great the first few times but thats about it.

The only thing I can think of to counter Mamoswine would be to either add Hammer arm to Regirock or switch out Gliscor for Skarmory. The latter would open me up to a Garchomp sweep. Any ideas?
